Can a Darwinian be a Christian? by Michael Ruse

Ruse argues that Darwinian and Christian beliefs are not totally incompatible.
'By concentrated argument around a number of themes, the origin of life, the soul, design, miracles, pain, ethics, social Darwinism, he manages to throw real light on the complexity of the issues, while suggesting how different standpoints might be reconciledRuse's grasp of the subject, clarity of exposition, fair-mindedness and light touch make it a thoroughly stimulating exercise.' Times Literary Supplement
'… Ruse's book serves an important role - building bridges for people who otherwise might not be interested in exploring 'win-win' as opposed to 'win-lose' relationships between science and religion. The argument is spry and engaging.' Nature
'Ruse's fine book contributes significantly to the contemporary dialogue of science and religion. Filled with useful information and sparkling wit, it will provide scientists, theologians and lay readers with the opportunity to think in fresh ways about God, Christianity and evolution.' Commonweal
'Michael Ruse's book is an astonishing contribution … It astonishes because of the bravado of its thesis.' London Review of Books
'Professor Ruse writes with grace and style … he can be credited with a book and theme of contemporary as well as historical significance.' Contemporary Review
Michael Ruse is Lucyle T. Wekmeister Professor of Philosophy at Florida State University.
